My children tell me all the time. Thanks mom for the independence. They are in their 20's and early 30's. They say dang common sense is just not so common. The rule was at 15 we get jobs. When you're ready for a car I"ll match whatever you save. So if you want a $3000 car. I'll match $1500.00. I was a single career mom. I DIDNT have or even want the time to hangout at my kids school. WHEN PTA was having an event I sent them a check. I even had one teacher asked to me meet me to discuss more parental involvement. I went to her meeting. Let her explain how kids are more likely to succeed with more parental involvement. I told her look lady my kid is a B student. He can be an A student whenever HE decides he wants to be. It's not up to you or me of how dedicated he wants to be. Your job is to teach. Whenever you ppl decide to do your job, and stop trying to parent these kids, police these kids, lab rat these kids it will be way better. You guys are calling the police on kids for fighting. Calling CPS on parents bcuz they yelled at the kid. This teacher school mess has gotten way out of hand. Stop pretending you know everything, you're not psychic, you don't know anyones end result. Just teach MATH. My involvement is a $100.00 check. That's it. That's all. I don't need YOU to be INVOLVED at the hospital for me to adequately nurse my patients. No one should be involved for you to teach math 7hrs a dam day. I taught my children Independence and accountability from an young age. By the time my sons were 12 they were taking the bus cross town to get their hair cuts, sorting their own clothes on laundry day by the time they were 9. Darks from the lights. As they got older ppl will call them leaders lol. My daughter told me dang mom.. Im so happy you never coddled me. I said no. I loved you too much to coddle you. You were to important to keep for myself. Keep you dependent. My job is toTeach you to trust yourself. Own up to your mistakes. Apologize with action. Be proud of yourself. Your 1st love should be you. Life is a circle of classes. Whatever lessons you don't learn will just keep coming back around. You will start to feel stuck, no progress. Some ppl are smart and they go on and pay attention. Learn and apply. Others are lazy. Just keep repeating the same pitfalls over n over n over again and say dang Im so unlucky lol. You can't get to the next level until you have completed the current level. Whatever lesson or level you're at. Codependency shouldn't be one you ACE!!

My brother was born in 1996 and he went outside with me all the time. I remember being 8 or younger and we went outside (I was born in 1993) alone.

I think what makes Gen-Z drastically different from millennials is that gen-z sees millennials as radical puritans and thus want to be the opposite of them.

A large majority of gen z is pro-sjw, leftist bs, the others are outcasts pro-right, edgy, don’t believe in political correctness, conservative. I follow the later

I had liberal/ hippie parents I went to school on a public Brooklyn NYC bus by myself at 8. I went outside by myself at 5 but I always lived on family community blocks with many kids. That was in the early nineties. Yea I see less kids playing outside n being independent. People are scary, with all this technology n ways to track your kids you would think parents wouldn’t be so over protective
